Description
Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)
Citicoheal 500 mg contains citicoline (also called CDP-choline), a clinically studied neuroprotective and neurorestorative compound used to support brain recovery after stroke, enhance cognitive function in certain conditions, and support memory in age-related cognitive decline. Citicoline acts as a precursor for brain phospholipids and supports neuronal membrane repair and neurotransmitter balance.
Product introduction
Citicoline (Cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine, CDP-choline) is an intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine — a key component of cell membranes. When taken orally, citicoline breaks down into choline and cytidine; these cross the blood–brain barrier and re-synthesize into CDP-choline within the brain, supporting membrane integrity, mitochondrial function and neurotransmitter production (notably acetylcholine). Clinical studies have investigated citicoline for stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, vascular cognitive impairment, and age-related memory complaints.
Uses of Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)
Common clinical and supportive uses for citicoline include:
- Adjunctive therapy for recovery after ischemic stroke (supports neurological recovery under clinician supervision)
- Management of vascular cognitive impairment and mild cognitive impairment
- Post-concussive cognitive support after mild traumatic brain injury (in some protocols)
- Support for age-related memory decline and attention problems
- Adjunct to Parkinson’s disease treatment for some cognitive or motor symptoms in select settings
(Indications and usage vary by country — follow your clinician’s advice and local regulatory guidance.)
Benefits of Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)
Citicoline offers a range of potential neurocognitive benefits observed in clinical research and practical use:
- Neurorestoration: supports neuronal membrane repair and the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, helping injured neurons recover function.
- Improved attention & memory: some trials report improvements in memory, attention and executive function in vascular cognitive impairment and mild cognitive decline.
- Stroke recovery support: adjunctive use during rehabilitation has been associated with improved functional outcomes in certain studies.
- Low adverse effect profile: generally well tolerated in recommended doses when used under medical supervision.
In Treatment of Worm infections
Important: Citicoline is not an antiparasitic or anthelmintic. It does not treat worm or parasitic infections. That heading appears in your template for consistency but is not applicable to citicoline.
Side effects of Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)
Common side effects
- Mild gastrointestinal symptoms — nausea, stomach discomfort
- Insomnia or increased sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals
- Headache or mild dizziness (uncommon)
How to use Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)
Typical dosing used in clinical studies ranges from 250 mg to 1,000 mg daily, commonly given as 500 mg once or twice daily depending on indication and physician recommendation. For many cognitive support uses, 500 mg once or twice daily is frequently used. In stroke recovery, dosing regimens vary by study and clinical protocol — always follow clinician guidance and local product labeling.
- Swallow tablets whole with water — can be taken with or without food.
- Maintain consistent timing for better efficacy (e.g., morning with breakfast).
- For chronic cognitive support, therapy may be continued for weeks to months as advised by your clinician.
How Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline) works
Citicoline contributes choline and cytidine (uridine in some metabolic pathways) to the brain. These precursors support phospholipid synthesis (phosphatidylcholine), stabilise cell membranes, enhance mitochondrial function, and promote neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine). Citicoline also may reduce ischemia-induced neuronal damage and support re-myelination and synaptic repair — mechanisms that underlie its potential benefits in stroke recovery and cognitive support.
Safety advice
| Allergy | Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to citicoline or excipients in the tablet formulation. |
| Pregnancy & breastfeeding | Data are limited — consult your clinician before use. Use only if benefits justify potential risks according to your physician. |
| Concurrent medications | Inform your clinician about all prescription drugs, particularly cholinergic or anticholinergic agents, as interactions may theoretically occur. |
| History of seizures | Use with caution in patients with seizure disorders and under neurology guidance. |
What if you forget to take Citicoheal 500 mg (Citicoline)?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is near the time for the next dose. Do not double doses to make up for a missed dose. If you miss multiple doses, discuss with your clinician for optimal management.
All substitutes
Equivalent citicoline products from other manufacturers are available in many regions. Other choline-containing supplements (e.g., alpha-GPC, choline bitartrate) exist but have different pharmacology and not identical clinical evidence. For certain cognitive indications, prescribers may consider alternative or adjunctive agents (e.g., cholinesterase inhibitors in dementia under specialist guidance) — discuss options with your clinician.
Quick tips
- Start at recommended dose (e.g., 500 mg daily) and follow clinician instructions.
- Maintain regular follow-up to assess benefits and tolerability.
- Combine with rehabilitation (for stroke/TBI) and lifestyle measures — diet, sleep, exercise — for best outcomes.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children.

Patient concerns
Common patient questions include: “How long before I see improvement?” — cognitive and functional improvements may be gradual and assessed over weeks to months. “Is citicoline safe long-term?” — clinical experience shows good tolerability in many patients, but long-term use should be supervised by a clinician. “Will it interfere with my other medications?” — inform your prescriber about all medicines and supplements to avoid potential interactions.

FAQs
Can Citicoheal 500 mg be stopped when my symptoms are gone?
Treatment length depends on the reason for use. For acute post-stroke recovery, clinicians typically set a treatment period; for chronic cognitive support, ongoing use may be considered. Do not stop without consulting your clinician.
Can the use of Citicoheal cause insomnia?
Some users report transient sleep disturbances; if insomnia occurs, discuss dose timing (move dose to morning) or alternatives with your clinician.
Will Citicoheal be more effective if taken more than the recommended dose?
Higher than recommended doses do not guarantee greater benefit and may increase risk of side effects. Always follow dosing recommended by your clinician or the product label.
What are the instructions for storage and disposal of Citicoheal?
Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Dispose unused medicines via pharmacy take-back programs or local regulations — do not flush down toilets unless local guidance permits.
